The Hornets have contacted the Utah Jazz to request permission to interview assistant Ty Corbin and the Portland Trail Blazers to interview Monty Williams. The Jazz is in the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers, while the Trail Blazers were eliminated by the Phoenix Suns in the first round.

According to sources, the Hornets are working on logistics to interview former NBA player Mark Jackson and former NBA coach Doug Collins, who interviewed for the Philadelphia 76ers job on Saturday.
